Is a 3 inch penis long enough for sexual intercourse?

It's plenty long enough for a dachshund, not nearly long enough for a humpback whale. For humans, an undersized male generally has no problem ejaculating during intercourse and impregnating the female. His partner's sexual satisfaction is another matter, however.

I have three inches erect and about one inch flaccid. The length is not an issue, but the width is. I have about one inch diameter and it is not enough. Most women will not feel that and you will not feel it either. Best to find ways to have sex outside of a woman - like mutual masturbation. I knew a woman once who liked to watch me masturbate and then use a vibrator on herself.

To find the volume of a cylinder (in this case the pipe) we use the equation for the area of the end circle (pi*r^2) and multiply it by the length of the cylinder (h). This gi…ves us the equation pi*r^2*h. Our radius is half the diameter (1.5 inches) and our height/length is 8 feet or 96 inches. In our case this equates to pi*(1.5in)^2(96in)=216pi = 678.6in^3. Since there are 231 cubic inches in a gallon, there are 678.6/231 = 2.94 gallons of water in the pipe.(MORE)

Bleeding during intercourse may seem abnormal and is a scary experience. However, there are several explanations that do not give cause for concern. Read on to learn more abou…t why you might be bleeding during intercourse and whether or not to be concerned.Bleeding during intercourse can occur if you are menstruating during the time of intercourse. In this case, it is not a cause for concern, as bleeding during menstruation is normal. Bleeding during intercourse might also occur seven to 10 days after you finish menstruating. This can occur if the pressure from intercourse dislodges any remaining menstrual blood, which may then get expelled during and after intercourse.Certain positions may allow an excess of pressure on the uterus wall, thereby dislodging leftover menstrual blood. Doggy-style is especially prone to producing extra pressure deep inside the vagina. Any position where the vagina is positioned downward may also induce excess blood to get dislodged due to gravity. Anal intercourse may especially induce bleeding, because the anus tends to be tighter than the vagina.Females who have had little to no sexual experience may still have an intact hymen. Very often, the hymen is broken during the first time a female has sex, though this is not always the case. When the hymen is broken, it bleeds, which explains bleeding during intercourse. This is perfectly normal and not a cause for concern.Very large or thick penises may rip or tear the vaginal walls. However, smaller and average-sized penises are less prone to do so. If your sexual partner has a very large penis, this may explain why you are bleeding during sex. It is only a cause for concern if it is causing you severe discomfort.Bleeding during intercourse can be caused by several different factors. Time of menstruation, sexual position, sexual experience and penis size all contribute to bleeding during intercourse. However, many of these are not a cause for concern. Consult your doctor or specialist if you are bleeding during intercourse and experiencing severe discomfort because of it.To prevent bleeding during intercourse, you must be fully aroused before penetration. This extends the vagina, allowing more room to accommodate the size of the penis.(MORE)

Every man wonders if size matters. While most women assure a man that it doesn't, many men are still obsessed with getting a larger penis. In order to pursue this goal, men ar…e willing to pay great amounts and even undergo painful surgery. Every man inevitably looks at himself in the mirror and asks, "Is it possible to create a larger penis?"It is possible to make your penis bigger by performing a series of exercises. Most of these exercises involve stretching the penis in different directions several times a day. It is recommended you avoid ejaculation during these exercises. These exercise can add some length to your penis but often take a long time to begin to work. In addition, if you stop performing these exercises, then your penis returns to its normal side.While many in the medical community tout surgeries as the way to get a larger penis, most often these surgeries are false hopes. In fact, penis enlargement surgeries do nothing more than expose more of the penis, often by cutting ligaments attached to the pubic bone. In many cases, these surgeries often result in a penis that is not as sensitive due to nerve damage. In severe cases, the penis may be painful when erect and may be misshapen.Penis pumps involve placing a plastic tube over your penis and operating a pump that moves blood into your penis while creating a vacuum in the tube. Although this can create a harder erect penis that makes a penis appear slightly bigger, the effect is not permanent. In addition, using a penis pump to give yourself a bigger penis can be dangerous; your penis can become damaged by the vacuum.Tying weights to the end of your penis and allowing them to stretch the penis into a larger shape is a common way to attempt to make a penis larger. While this can lengthen a penis, it is often painful and can result in sexual side effects such as painful erections and impotence. It can also cause urinary problems.It is impossible to create a larger penis on a more permanent basis. Even attempting some temporary techniques such as the use of a penis pump can be dangerous and painful. If you are concerned with the size of your penis, it is a better idea to speak with a therapist and your partner about ways to overcome your issues. Often, a loving partner reassures you that you don't need a larger penis, and a therapist can help you feel adequate about your sexuality. All in all, creating a larger penis is not something that anyone should attempt.The Mayo Clinic analyzed the studies that purported to prove that stretching exercises make a penis grow. The Mayo Clinic reported that the studies were "not of high quality," resulting in questionable results.(MORE)

For men, penis size has always been a point of contention, the subject of everything from fraternity jokes to a downright obsession. While few men have never stopped to wonder… how their penis compares to others, the sentiment that "size matters" has taken on an urgency that seems, at times, to border on the ridiculous. From late night infomercials hawking specious pills, to an Internet overflowing with every product imaginable, the message is overwhelming: if you have a penis, it is likely too small.Stretching devices, such as penis pumps, are probably the oldest and best-known products. Clamps, also known as "cock rings," can be as simple as an old shoelace or as fancy as a hinged silver ring. Pills that include everything from dried deer penis to synthetic testosterone are sold both over the counter and on the Internet. To a lesser extent, patches, powders, ointments and drinks are also available. Penile enhancement surgery is a radical option.Penis pumps fit over the penis and create a vacuum, which in turn stretches the penis tissue. Clamps simply inhibit blood flow out of the penis; more blood equals a larger penis. While pill manufacturers are hard-pressed to explain the science behind their products, they ostensibly increase blood flow to the penis, operating the same way as most erectile dysfunction drugs.While the advertising claims are sensational and anecdotal evidence abounds, no scientific evidence exists that permanent penis enlargement is possible (aside from surgery). Pills can often help in achieving a harder erection, which for some men can seem like an enlarged penis. Pumps have been studied in some depth and help achieve short-term, minor enlargement, but they are ineffective in the long term. Clamps also work for short-term enlargement, but once removed the penis returns to its normal size.Improper use of a penis pump can cause tissue or vascular damage, leading to torn skin, permanent injury and even impotence. Pills and potions often contain ingredients unapproved by the FDA. Some herbal ingredients, especially when taken in large doses, can lead to liver and kidney damage. Clamps can become stuck on a penis with devastating results. Complications from surgery always exist.Surgery is the only way to permanently alter the size of the penis, but it definitely is not safe. You can possibly create the appearance of a larger penis by trimming pubic hair and losing weight. The appearance is what it is all about anyway, right?While most men have a penis that falls into the "average" size category, about 6.5 inches when erect, the quest for an enlarged penis will likely continue. Likewise, manufacturers and vendors who prey on male insecurities continue to raise the level of hyperbole. In the end, suffice it to say, the only way to get an enlarged penis is to be satisfied with the one you have.The world-renowned Mayo Clinic reports that no scientific evidence exists to support the claim that pills or lotions advertised to enlarge a penis are actually effective.(MORE)

You feel close and loving with your partner and you want to be intimate, but the act of intercourse causes you so much pain that you just can't. Or you can, but to do so you a…re putting up with pain. This can be emotionally devastating, and turns what should be a fun and enjoyable experience into one fraught with anxiety. In some cases, painful sex can end relationships. Intercourse can be painful for a number of reasons. Some of these causes are very easily treated and some are quite serious. In some cases this pain is caused by psychological factors. For any of these reasons it benefits you greatly to see your doctor, so if you are experiencing painful sex you should make an appointment. The first step to figuring out the reason intercourse is painful to you is to figure out where the pain is coming from. Is it at the opening of your vagina or is it deep inside when your partner thrusts? Or is it both? If you experience pain at the opening of your vagina, it could be for any of the following reasons:- An injury in the vaginal area- An episiotomy- Vaginal dryness (this is especially common in post-menopausal women)- STDs, especially genital warts and herpes- Object in the vagina (sometimes if partners play with inserting objects into the vagina, parts may be unknowingly left behind. Also, sometimes a tampon is left in the vagina and forgotten)- Vulvitis, which is an inflammation of the vulva. This can be caused by an infection, or by a reaction to products including soap.- Vaginitis, an inflammation of the vagina. This is commonly caused by STDs or other infections.- Vulvodynia, a condition wherein a woman has a highly sensitive vulvar region for no apparent reason (it is possible for your doctor to find the reason and treat it)- A partner with an especially thick penis, especially if your vaginal opening is small.- Vaginal septum, a partition within the vagina that can usually be surgically corrected- An unusually thick hymen- Urethral caruncles, lesions of the urethra- In rare cases, cancer Deep pain during sex can be caused by an exceptionally large penis, but there are a number of medical reasons as well:- Endometriosis, a painful condition where the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus- Fibroids, benign tumors on the uterus- Cervical infection- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), inflammation of the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries often, but not always, caused by an infection of chlamydia or gonorrhea, two common STDs. - Ectopic pregnancy, a life-threatening condition wherein the fertilized egg implants in a fallopian tube instead of the uterus- Ovarian cystsVaginismus, an involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles, deserves its own section because it can be painful both at the opening and deep inside, and because its reasons are not physical but psychological. This makes the pain no less real. Sometimes if a woman has had a traumatic experience related to the vaginal area, including rape or sexual assault, if she has been brought up to fear sex or think of it as wrong or dirty, or if she has had physical pain in that area because of an injury or medical condition, her vaginal muscles will contract tightly when any object, including a finger, penis or even a tampon, touches near her vaginal opening. This involuntary contraction brings about severe pain. A woman experiencing vaginismus does not consciously control this muscular contraction, and indeed may strongly desire intercourse. This can cause extreme stress for her and for her partner. Vaginismus can only be diagnosed once physical causes for painful sex have been ruled out. Once diagnosed, it can be successfully treated by a combination of means including counseling, exercises in controlling the vaginal muscles, and vaginal dilation techniques whereby the woman inserts vaginal dilators, very gradually increasing the amount of dilation. Painful sex is most likely to be experienced in young women just embarking on their sexual life. For the vast majority of women experiencing painful sex, there are effective treatments available, whether the pain is internal or external. The first step is going to a doctor to learn the cause of your pain.(MORE)

It's always important to remember that HIV can only be transmitted between two people if one of them already has the virus. For example, penetrative sex without condoms is onl…y risky when performed with a person known to be infected with HIV or when one of the partners isn't aware of their HIV status. Sex without condoms or other precautions is not a risk for HIV when practiced by people who know with certainty that their partner or partners do not carry the virus.To prevent the sexual transmission of HIV, individuals should avoid taking HIV-infected sexual fluids (semen, pre-ejaculate, vaginal and cervical secretions) into their bodies. To be absolutely safe, blood, semen and vaginal secretions should not be taken into the mouth, vagina or anus. Contact between these fluids and the eyes or open cuts or wounds should also be avoided. Breast milk can also carry HIV, so sexual partners should avoid taking breast milk into their bodies as well.The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and many state and local health departments consider oral sex without a condom a low risk activity for HIV transmission. This does not mean there is no risk. Documented cases of transmission through unprotected oral sex are rare, but they have occurred.Safer sex describes sexual activities that minimize or eliminate HIV risk. People practicing safer sex do not take partners' blood or sexual fluids (semen or vaginal secretions) into their bodies. One way to think about this is as three different categories of sexual activities: safe sex, probably safe sex, and unsafe sex.Safe sex describes sexual activities that present no risk for HIV transmission, which means no sharing of semen, vaginal secretions or blood. Examples of this are: *Touching, massaging, hugging.*Masturbation, alone or with someone else.*Rubbing bodies together.*Social (dry) kissing on the mouth. Note that saliva, which has been thoroughly studied, has never been shown to transmit HIV. It is not considered a sexual fluid that carries risk.Probably safe sex describes activities that are unlikely to lead to an exchange of semen, vaginal secretions or blood. Examples of this are:*Vaginal intercourse with a condom on the penis.*Oral intercourse on a man with a condom on the penis.*Oral intercourse on a woman with a latex barrier over the vulva.*Anal intercourse (insertive and receptive) with a condom on the penis.*French kissing (wet) with no sores or cuts in either person's mouth.Note that in deep, open-mouth kissing, it is possible blood might be exchanged between partners through mouth sores, bleeding gums, or abrasions from teeth. In order to be safe, condoms should be properly used and should not slip or break. The risk of condom failure makes these activities probably safe rather than safe.Unsafe sex describes activities which do involve an exchange of semen, vaginal secretions or blood and certainly could present an HIV risk. Examples would be:*Vaginal intercourse without a condom.*Anal intercourse without a condom.*Any intercourse with a condom that slips, leaks or breaks.*Sharing objects put into the anus or vagina, which would have semen, vaginal secretions or blood on them. *Any activity that allows blood-to-blood contact, or allows blood contact with the mouth, vagina, anus or broken skin.Bodily fluids such as saliva, nasal secretions, sputum, sweat, tears, urine, vomit and feces are not considered to have risk for HIV unless they contain visible blood.Knowing how HIV is transmitted and how that transmission can be prevented is the best way to protect yourself and the people you care about.(MORE)
